Highlights of a big loop around these two contiguous Natural Areas east of the Poudre River south of Prospect in Fort Collins (Larimer) today (3/18/15):
Merlin (1 prairie race female)
Cinnamon Teal (3m, 2f)
Green-winged Teal (13)
Virginia Rail (heard at least 5)
Marsh Wren (heard at least 2)
Sandhill Crane (flyover by flock of 42)
Killdeer (at least 4)
Total of 33 species
Coolest thing was seeing a male kestrel eating a vole atop the Cottonwood Hollow Natural Area sign along Prospect (of course, my camera was in the car)
Misses
Sagebrush Sparrow (wishful thinking)
Sage Thrasher
Swamp Sparrow (wishful thinking)
Osprey (should be here any day or week)
diving duck sp. or two
shrike
